Is the WD- black for PS 5 is a enough storage to get game because I'm getting GTA 5 and call of duty cold war and fortnite and Friday the 13
Any idea when the PS5 slim will be coming out?
Can you use the Portal as an additional controller? ie 1 player using a Dual Sense via the TV, and another player using the Portal via Remote Play? I used to do this with the Vita and PS4 Remote Play, so hoping it’s still the case. 😊
Is the usb c port charge only, or can it be used for audio output with usb c headphones?
Hello, if my daughter who has a separate guest account on my ps5 wants to play, can you swap the account used on the device easily or profile?
As a father of two young kids, i believe this product was designed for me. If we have a lazy day around the house, I can let them have the tv and i dont have to wait til they go to bed to play games. Pre-ordered weeks ago.
Do yourself a favor and get a steam deck
@@Mybasedworld You don't even know if he owns a PC or not (he would have to buy a whole new library), but still you feel compelled to recommend him to buy a device that costs twice as much.
I wonder why it bothers you so much, it's weird.
iPad and ps5 controller does the same thing (if you have it) 🤷🏾♂️
The only issue would be if they wanna play ps5 too you would need another ps5 to play this since it’s only mirrored
probably better to buy another TV
I feel like it was a missed opportunity to have this as a stand alone handheld device
Bring back the PSP😢
Agree
literally everyone agrees with you
On the surface yeah but it wouldn't have worked in practice
@@PauSe312Or buy a Steam Deck maybe?
Thank you for such a well thought out review, you answered every question I could’ve come up with.
I have a Backbone with my iPhone and find myself holding it a little too close to my face due to my screen being so small, so I was glad when I saw how big the screen is. I appreciate this video and your honesty.
Thank you for your review.
👍
Nice
So nice
Nice
Good
Lot of people definitely might not find a purpose for this but for parents out there, this is gold.
This is absolute shit, absolute trash and a waste of money. for the same price you can get a nintendo switch which is an entire console on itself
It’s called a phone and a back bone😂 💀 edit: Wii U
just get a steam deck, jfc
If you have kids and can manage latest tech console you must be a drug dealer,politician, renowned artist or even a genius scientist to be able to afford these damn things
@@jc-nr2hy He's saying its a cool affordable gadget for the kiddos. The steam deck is pricier.
Excellent review. Tackling all the aspects that I was wondering.
I don't think you can appreciate how good your videos actually are. Very informative and to the point. Keep it up👍🏾
They lost me solely for all the limitations it has for being actually portable. It looks awesome, if it was more like a switch then I would not hesitate to buy.
It would cost way more. Also you never know, their may be something they add for that capability
@@iinfluencedyoufor $100 more you can get a steam deck that plays games and can stream your ps5 as well
@@iinfluencedyou agreed, 300 bucks is great price. The Rog ally is 900
@@user-wv9ht6xw9iIt is a whole gaming computer for 900 tho
It’s also too laggy to play anything online
Input delay is bad even with 500+ download speed😊
Nice Portal, it does look great and at £200 might be worth it, but as you have said, more so if they open it up to the Direct Streaming from the Gaming Cloud then yes it would then become more versatile and thus more worth the money, even though as you point out about the 'Backbone' and if that is worth £100 then unreservedly it is worth the money in that case!
mines is so laggy
Nice Portal! I had really been wondering how well this functions as a true remote play device as I am frequently away from home for work in another state, but don’t want to bring my entire PS Setup. I will look forward to truly testing this out in the future. Disappointed with the apparent lag from COD, however, since that would be my go-to game :(
Buy a PSVita.
@@justinkaufman495facts
@justinkaufman495 what are u saying u didn't listen the video u can't do that smh
@nicobailey3264 I'm not sure what you're question is. I watched the video. I've been following this thing for the past year now. It sucks. The PSVita is fucking classic. You can still buy one today, and it dose what this thing does but better. If you still have a PS4 you can even use it to play ps4 games. I'm not sure if it works with the PS5 now but even if it doesn't its better than this piece of shit.
@@nicobailey3264 yeah there are literally multiple other reviews showing the person somewhere other than on their home wifi playing this remotely. PS5 at home, this at work, etc. That’s the point. If it can’t truly remote play what’s the point.
The Matilda shot at 6:28 made my day 🥲
NO WAY GARRETT! MY GIRLFRIEND AND I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS
Is that Matilda?
Yeah I burst out laughing at that point!
Can we play Tekken 7 on PS portal
You actually can use remote play as a second controller, i've played many times like that. You do remote play as player 1 and use a regular dualshock as player too. You can do the same with xbox. You cant connect directly but you can use as second controller. Its sometimes useful. Another use is for who wants to save cellphone battery using a portal instead. Last advantage is use a pal's console, you dont nees to use it with your own console, as long as not in the same time (on single player games)
so if you were playing a fighting game like mk1 you could use this as a control? just it wont show up on the screen?
That’s how I connected an Xbox controller to a Ps5
Nice portal.Great review,I want one.
Thank you for the thorough analysis.
Nice portal! Great review thanks for your video!
I've been using my iPad pro for this already and I must say I'm impressed how very low lag it produces and has works excellent 👌🏽 for me. I connect either a PS5 controller via bluetooth or straight wire both works GREAT in my experience 😜
Yeah I too have been doing that with an iPad Pro for years now and it’s pretty good, but it’s still two separate devices and I have to sit at a table to use it. I’m getting this so I can lay back in bed and on the couch and play even more comfortably and only have to use one device. Also, I really like that it’s part of the Sony ecosystem and I don’t have to use a third party device to play my games away from the TV. This will be a more portable option that my iPad and controller set up and I’m so excited for it 😂 now I can set up my iPad outside and play RUclips videos while I also smoke a blunt and play ps5 on the portal ✅✅ lol
Me too. But I hate carrying my iPad and a remote, just to play on the go…even with the ps backbone and ph. This is better 😜
I’ve tried pc, Mac, wired, wireless, iPhone, and iPad with remote play and the lag is why I’m getting this device.
@@thevolta89do you think this will have less lag there Volta? I was thinking about just using one of the other devices you mentioned but I didn’t know if the lag would cause some games to be unplayable vs using the Portal instead of
@@hdroid18 Tell you what, @ me here in two days in case I don’t remember but I’m going to get mine tomorrow so I can report back.
But according to Some articles talking about their means of connection via their hardware, the lag is less. I also saw a dude on Reddit do tests and mentioned it only like 2 milliseconds behinds a dualsense controller which is nuts.
Best review I've seen on this yet. Answered every single question I had, thanks mate. Definitely going to subscribe!
Thanks for the sub!
Just order mine yesterday I should have it in a couple of days I’m excited to use it at work 😅
Wow what a thorough and great review! I appreciate how well you did this! New subscriber now!
Thanks for the sub!
Absolutely mind blowing that they won’t allow you to stream any of the cloud games from your PS Plus subscription. Such a strange choice when it seems like a perfect use case for the Portal.
They are working on a cloud specif8cnservice like Microsoft
It's actually Not mind blowing. I still have my mind. Not blown out.
I'm guessing your new to electronics and gaming, They never release everything all at once with the best of everything. This is literally the first version of this type of gaming device, wait for the PSP Pro and other features to come out. Be patient lad.
Probably don’t want it to affect PS5 sales.
It would probably cause too much latency from streaming a cloud game from the PS5 to the Portal. It could possibly come in a future updates though as they continue to improve remote play
@@xjumpmaster82🤓
Thanks for the review! It’s exactly what I hoped it would be and you confirmed that.
You hoped it would be a locked down piece of trash?
@@Starwarsgeek-98lemme guess, you own a vita or a psp. gang this is completely different and is literally only a high quality screen mirror device for very specific purposes, if you don’t need it, leave it
Great review
Best review i found on RUclips!
Wow, thanks!
I absolutely need one of these! I have used a lot of remote play on my phone and this is going to be a real game changer for me!
Cool
Yes, save that phone battery for more important things 👍🏾 it’s crazy how battery anxiety isn’t a real problem until it is.
@@Digital-_-SpiritFAX
Thank you for your review. Thank you for focusing on what this device was actually made for. I was 95% sold on this because I have only one big TV in my home and and so I am restricted to gaming for 2 hours a day after work if I'm luck or gaming overnight on weekends when everyone else is sleeping.
With the connectivity question answered, I will definitely try this.
There’s a lot of hate for this device. But for what it’s supposed to do it’s good.
@@SpawnPoiintwhat are the main reasons for it receiving a lot of hate... Seems to that if it connects well and isnt laggy, that this should work pretty well!
For the price couldn’t you just buy another tv
@@joostdijkema6659Main reasons is that it’s a remote play device and you must have an internet connection which completely defeats the purpose of a portable device and the ps5 portal is not like psp ,those are the main criticisms.
@@joostdijkema6659no Bluetooth and if you have to sign in to public Wi-Fi or have to accept terms you can't use it. You basically need a unlimited hotspot to use it away from home. Hotels and most public places require at least a agree to terms to use WiFi.
Good review!
nice portal! im finally able to get mine today! Had to wait for stock to come in. Got my carry case from amazon and im trying to decide if i want to get the glass screen protector or not. Do you have any opinion on the screen protectors?
Can't wait to use it in two days. I dont play multiplayer games anymore, but often I don't want to sit behind my desk to play. Sometimes I just sit downstairs in the living room while my parents watch tv, or when I'm in bed, or in the garden. Now I can play everywhere. I think this device makes me play games 2 times more than usual. I hope it's great. Nice Portal 💙
Exactly the same reason why i bought it to👍
How has it been?
@@shennb645 to be fair. I have used it on specific games. Sometimes I have used it 15 hours a week and sometimes a week not. I got even better wifi, so it runs flawlessly now. I truly recommend only single-player games. I just finished the Life is Strange arcadia bay collection. I've also played a third of Spider-Man 2 on it. Mostly collectibles and side stuff. I occasionally play GTA V on it. I also just started Red Dead Redemption remastered and Horizon Forbidden West. And I'm playing like half the time on the Portal. I'd give the device a solid 8/10. If you like laying in bed or sitting on the couch or in the garden with a handheld device playing your PS4 and PS5 games I think the Portal is great. But your internet has to be great for the best result. If you're wifi is mediocre the frames will drop and the thing will lose connection.
I love it!! Can't wait to get mine on delivered on Launch day!!
When playing the portal, does the disc need to be loaded into the PS5 to play. Or, are you able to play any disc game regardless of whether the disc is loaded or not?
Disk is required, basically this device is just a screen of PS5, everything needs to be done on ur ps5.
Finally getting mine Saturday argos just got stock for Saturday pickup.
Great, thorough review! The fact that it doesn't support Bluetooth headphones is mind boggling, otherwise it seems like a cool device.
PS5 doesn't either, you need a dongle to even use a PlayStation brand headset
@@covidoutdat19thwardyaheardmereally, didn’t know that about the ps5. I wonder if it will work via my tv’s bluetooth🤔
I didn’t know that PS5 doesn’t support BT with other headphones other than what is compatible with the PS5. I bought a dongle off Amazon. It’s the Avantree C81 USB-C BT adapter. It has a USB-C as well as a headphone jack that is BT compatible. It is the best thing I bought for my PS5.
It doesn’t have Bluetooth, but it has an entire button dedicated solely to PlayStation Link headphone pairing.
I remember the switch didn’t support Bluetooth but they eventually added it later so hopefully that happens
As always your videos are the best man, the editing and presentation is always crisp and top notch. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the positive feedback.
ok
It's cool but since you can't use it separately dumba it down for me a waist of money
@@SpawnPoiint Hmm Very nice New consoled of The ps5 Portal like Nintendo lite #playstation 📲 !
Great review!
I really wonder at their decision to not allow us to use this as a second controller for the console. Surely there’s nothing stopping it?
bro i love your videos
Thanks dude!
finally someone answered the question about ps5 needing to be fully on or rest mode
literally.
This was my main wonder. Just got mine a couple of days ago. Still trying to figure out how to run the Portal while my PS5 is in rest mode.
Can I use it to turn on my console remotely? Can I use it using a different wifi network?
Sick, bro! Hyped for mine to arrive on Wednesday.
Nice Portal! Great review 👏🏾 👌🏾
This is nice. Long as your system is hooked up at home, you can connect to WiFi & play whatever’s on your system
Great review. Can't wait until the 15th. I work from home & this will allow me to play while working.
Hol'up, what's the airplane mode for???
Great video 👍
Thanks for this fantastic review! I know you mentioned about playing at home, not sure if it can be done while travelling to another country?
Nice vid! Been watching your stuff while waiting for my ps5
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you too.
Nice Portal!
Great video and makes me want one even more! I’m currently playing Remote Play via the app on my phone with a controller mount - but would just leave the seamless experience this can offer!
Cannot wait to snag myself one!
The 8 inch screen seems really nice!
That parents bar really got me 😤 sold and following 😂
Great video thank you! any suggestions for cover or case?
It looks so cool. And if they got it to where it could do the cloud gaming independently, I would be all on board.
They refuse to do it.
You’re forced to have your ps5 turned on while gaming outside of your home
@@kxnzo1089but you can be away from home?
@@--PaZuZu--wtf you talking about. Can be played anywhere with any kind of internet connection
@@--PaZuZu--your completely wrong, you only need a Wifi connection to connect, you don’t need to be near your PS5, you could be in another country in a hotel on Wi-Fi and it would work perfectly because it’s all about your Wi-Fi strength and not how close your console is.
Great review as always! A few very minor things aside, I’m incredibly hyped to get my hands on it and have some fun!
This wasn't a review. This was an ad without the ad notification.
@pidow ???
Nice Portal! 💙
So apart from physical portability, how does this compare to an iPad Pro 12.9” with a DualSense controller connected to it? I tried this out on the same WiFi network (which exceeds the recommended requirements). The resolution looks great but the frame rate seems to drop from time to time. Playing Trails to Reverie.
leaving a message because i also want to know ( i also use iPad Pro with controller for remote play)
very nice review, i like your content
I will say - I reckon they lost money not having this out during Covid - Imagine the man hours people would've put on PlayStation if they could be anywhere in their home whilst on the console. Nice Portal 💙
No kidding, it would’ve sold like hot cakes
There is always the next virus.
Yeah because they couldn’t use their TV’s while at home because COVID something something.
@@henrybarney3202 I could see it, parents whose kids are stuck on the TVs, gamers whose main setup isn't in their main space / room etc.
I'm looking at it from a living with family standpoint.
I remember vita and psp fanboys calling this stupid or saying to just get phone attachments. People finally getting what it's meant for 😅 I honestly love this and can't wait to pick it up. Especially as a dad with a family tv.
Easily the best and most in-depth up-to-date video on the PS Portal. Masterful job. Thank you so much! Can't wait for mine to come in a few days :)
Thank you 🙏
ok
Dude just buy a switch or the new stranden. And if u really want to stream buy a good tablet with a controller, the man really just said it has no ability other then play games in home how desperate of a gadget junkies do you people have to be 😅
Thank you for all your information it helped me plus earbuds don’t like my ears so I’m getting the headset when they come out
Nice portal I’m hoping to pick one up soon
A nice and well Explained video as always.Appreciate the efforts you put into these videos man,Definitely buying it asap🤘🏻.
2 more days! Can’t wait.
Enjoy, it's awesome!
Can you please test if local co-op can work while the PlayStation portal is at another place like a friends house? Diablo 4
Question. Can you play on this remotely with your main living room console while others use the same console to watch a movie on it?
No, the guy said can only play one game at a time, it’s not a full blown console, just an accessory
Hey there! Great breakdown and overview of the device. One of the better ones I’ve seen. Just a question, what was your experience like using the Portal in different rooms in your home? Do you have a Mesh wifi setup to help mitigate any possible lag from using it away from the PS5?
Watch the video
I'm glad you covered the streaming of media apps and cloud gamming. Alot of reviews didn't. I would definately hit on this handheld but for now I will wait to see if they eventual unlock.
Nice video!!
I got so excited when I saw the headphone jack 😊
Good review man. When i first saw this I thought it was a terrible idea. Now I think it looks pretty good.
Great review!! I pre ordered one last week & can’t wait to get it on Wednesday!! Hopefully there’s cases that we can buy for it so we don’t break it. Always love your reviews!!
Venom case on amazon but not out till December...case, screen protector and thumbgrips for £20
It looks awesome. The only issue is if the controller buttons mess up or analog you have to send the whole thing in to fix. I wonder how the warranty is.
To play you need to have a PS5 and a cell phone with a common controller, it connects even faster with remote play, since this shit Playstation Portal has an Adeno 610 processor
I’m definitely getting one
Definitely picking this up, it’s a must cop for a Dad who games
haha that's exactly my thinking too
Same. I have a 3 and 2 year old. I rarely get to play my PS5. Yet, I have Spider-man and Baldur's Gate. So this will be perfect for those.
@kannon6372 I don't think the PS5 can play two games at the same time, so you can only use it when your console is free.
You could always use remote play app from Sony on your phone.
It’s perfect for bedtime too!
Looks great looking forward to meeting mine. I have psvr2 too and love it
Just purchased one for my fiance! Thanks for your review! I was hesitant at first but! I know he'll love it!
4:15 "a few others"
*Gets all handhelds in existence*
😂
These are the type of reviews I love. Fantastic video.
Thank you 🙏
Nice video as always mate!! I pre-ordered mine earlier today and just now it hit me; what to do when the thumbsticks start to drift? :/
So if you are away from home does your ps5 have to be on
Looks really tempting to get now after your review. It differently needs a carrying case though.
Thanks!
Nice portal ❤️ (nice vid, I appreciate you)
Nice Portal 💙 Thank you for the very detailed review!
I’m wondering lastly if I were to log into the ps5 and then someone come behind me and log in as well, would I be able to play on the portal on my account while they plaid another game on the tv on their account? I’m assuming no because you said you can’t play two different games but is that also considering two different accounts?
This looked so damn good and I was thinking of buying it but not being able to use it as a second controller really disinterests me on it
Wait, you're filming this on your phone? And your visuals are that clean? Insane... Super excited for the PS Portal too.
Haha yes. Everything I create online is on iPhone.
I got mine two days ago. Its pretty Good!
Nice portal 💙
Thank you for the video.
I was so looking forward in playing MW3 and BF 2042 with the portal but you told us there is a lot of lag.
Do you still think I should get it?
Nice portal 💙
It is up to Sony now to either make this device a beast or a forgettable device, allowing cloud streaming and some sort of menu to download media apps or stream them from your console would make a world of difference IMO
This the one. Sony has an habit of making dope devices and giving up support. Let’s change the narrative. Streaming and apps would be freaking god send with this device.
The proprietary playstation link instead of bluetooth is a major red flag for me.
@@turismoride6617 True!
lol you asking for things that will never come. You would hate streaming a game to your ps5 then streaming to your portal. Your lag would be ridiculous. This is not for media it’s for gaming watch your phone or your tv for media lol.
@@turismoride6617Bluetooth sucks that’s why lol.
I honestly would have nearly paid $400 for a new PlayStation handheld that could natively play the entire PS4 back catalog as well as stream the PS5 (or play lower-spec PS5 games). Knowing things like the Steam Deck are more powerful than the PS4, it's more than possible, and because it's Sony, they have the ability to shrink the die of a PS4 APU to make it much more power efficient.
I wish😢
I wish too. i feel like The markets too competitive though. Switch and steam deck do it so well. Plus, they probably still have PTSD for how hard ps vita loss them.
Sony wont go to that market again after the vita. The model of creating 2 version of every game are not profitable. Sony makes money mostly from software.
@@AndrewHadi07 This time around they wouldn't have to. this handheld I'm thinking of would just have a die-shrunk PS4 APU in it, so PS4 games would natively play
Quick question do i need to carry my ps5 to play it whenever off road
No
Just ordered one 😊
Do you think the streaming connection is better on the device compared to something like the backbone? Like in terms of lag and latency?
that's a great question
its a shame he didn't compare it to the backbone which he obviously has
no
@@c-tothefourth4879 Do you have any source for that? Or do you just hate the portal like bunch of other people?
People seem to forget that the backbone is just a controller . You take it for granted u already have a phone . But see you seem to forget that you had to buy the phone at some point . Backbone is useless unless it’s connected in someway to another device that is sold separate
You mean compared to a phone right? Because the backbone is pretty useless without one
Love how it has an airplane mode LOL what can you do with it in that mode? 😂
thanks
This is my lifesaver for my anxiety so this is worth it🎉
Nice portal 💙 I'm happy with this review I pre ordered the portal a few days ago (took a while to get it) but my main concern was the lag and this review definitely helped me feel more justified in my purchase thank you!
@@Silvarian steam deck is super cool! But I'm gonna be honest I have my portal already and it's sick it's works for my needs as a dad and husband who's wife loves to watch her shows. It would be much better if this thing could go offline but i knew I'd use this for couch gaming while tending to my newborn and the wife watches TV and In bed its also cool that I can take this to say a family members house or a friends and not have to haul my entire PS5 with me
Nice portal! This looks cool and all but I fear the inevitable stick drift issue. I haven't had a PS5 controller last more than a year or two and I would feel very upset if this expensive portal became unusable due to that issue.
I’ve had my ps5 since release and I haven’t had any awful experience with stick drift. When ever I get it, I just press down the analog stick and do a 360 blow. Works like a charm. You won’t suffer from stick drift as much as these people are cursing it 😂
Ive had only my launch ps5 dualsense drift. I've switched entirely since a year ago to a new one and it still hasn't started making problems so I think that issue is gone.
U dirty
The DualSense Edge solves that problem once and for all
Wow didn't even think about this till mentioned. Imagine buying the portal then drift occurs a year later. I'd be pissed and calling Sony
nice review
Thanks!
Looks awesome
Thanks for the review. The latency bit confirms my doubts about the Portal. Unfortunately, I only play competitive fighting games that don't work well under laggy conditions. After giving up on the Backbone, I was hoping that the Portal would be a convenient way to practice away from my larger monitors. Seems like my only safe bet is a dedicated handheld PC.
What is your internet speed though? His internet speed is low / sucks wait for a review in which there is like 300mbps or something
@@swineflu07 I'd say that I have relatively good Internet speeds. About 18 - 30 ms ping, over ethernet to most game servers, on average. Though, I doubt that has anything to do with the latency I'm concerned with, which occurs over the local network. Someone would have to test the Portal against the best WiFi router, within the same room, to give us all a best case scenario.
@@ciscorey6520 some reviews have showed the ps portal is better than what’s shown . You have good speeds and low latency so the portal should perform better for you compared to this guy
@@ciscorey6520competitive fighting games are never going to feel good over wireless when you have to make frame perfect inputs
I’m in the same boat, my wife pre ordered for me. I only play call of duty really but seems this guys internet is not as good so probably why the delay is noticeable. I have 500mbps so hopefully no issue
If this could stream games and movies, I feel like this would be a great product, but short of that it seems like a good product for a subset of players.
If it ever goes on sale, I might pick it up.
Its an remote device. You can watch movies from your ps5 and play any games on it. It would cost so much more to be a standalone device.
I feel like those features will come with an update 2 years from now. Don’t want to interrupt PS5 sales. Because if the portal could stream games from the cloud there’s no need to buy a PS5
@@eazybuxafew exactly my thoughts, I have an Xbox but I don’t really need it because I can play game pass games from my Samsung tv, I don’t think Sony would want that.
I don't see a reason to stream movies just because smart phones am tablets are everywhere...will see what Sony does with this
An update to cloud would be huge deal
Glad I watched your video before buying it, thought it was a standalone console i can use during my break at work
Hoped so too
@SpawnPoiint you’ve failed to mention that the portal doesn’t currently have or support native security features. If the portal is lost/stolen, the next person who picks it up will have the freedom to connect this portal to their own PS5 and use it as they wish. So for everyone out there please make sure to at least apply a PIN to your PS5 unit until Sony comes up with a patch or support for the feature. I found this out myself because I have a PIN on my PS5 and when the portal successfully connected the PS5 required the PIN before I could use it. If you do not have a PIN, it just goes straight to XMB dashboard letting the next person have access to your unit.
Can't wait to experience stick drift on this device. It's only a matter of time. 😂
